However, while the nature of the effect can be manifested, the cause cannot be manifested; that an unmanifested cause could manifest an effect is unreasonable. The syllogism is: The present cause should be unable to manifest, because the effect itself is not manifested, just as when the effect was not yet manifested. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.173](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.2.173) - [Next: 2.175](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.2.175) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828~en-mt.2.174) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.2.174](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.2.174) · Pramāṇa
